Often praised
- fried chickenIt tasted fresh, was very well seasoned, and had a delightful spicy kick. In my opinion, The Chicken Supply sets the standard for fried chicken here – it's a 10/10 experience for me.
- chickenThe batter on the chicken is really light and crispy
- foodMy experience at the restaurant was overwhelmingly positive, especially regarding the food. Although they forgot my mochi, I still have to give them 5 stars for the food. The service and atmosphere were also rated a perfect 5 stars.
- butter mochidon't miss the butter mochi. It's transcendent
- sidesall of the sides perfectly compliment the main dish
- Foodit comes through in every single bite
- chicken thighIt's a wonderful treat to have a menu where everything is gluten-free. While I initially thought $8 seemed expensive for a chicken thigh, they are huge! Everything tasted like it was made with care from high-quality ingredients.
- garlic ricean order of garlic rice. Oh. My. Gawd. Best dinner ever!
- gluten-free fried chickenonly time I have ever had gluten free fried chicken
- portionsThe portions are also quite large
Frequently criticized
- chickenchicken wasn't the worst in the world, but overall below average
- chicken thighran out of thighs 10 minutes after they opened
- fried chickenMy experience at this restaurant was that it was just overpriced fried chicken. They also automatically add a 17% service charge on all orders, which is ridiculous, even for takeouts.
- chicken stickI liked the chicken stick less
- meatI've tried both the original and spicy versions and I'd vote for the spicy one (it's not really spicy though, just has a little more flavor). The batter is super crispy, but I wish the meat had more flavor and were juicier. The original version was too bland for me, but it pairs very well with any kind of dipping sauce.
- menuhalf of their menu was already “out of stock”
- sidesI wasn't as big of fan of the sides
- Monggo Beans & Ricenor was I of the Monggo Beans & Rice.
- availabilityArriving later in the day means you'll likely find half the menu unavailable, marked as “sold out. ” Between the inflated prices, limited availability, and the unexpected service charge, there’s nothing that justifies the hype. It's definitely not worth it.
- banana ketchupOnly misses were the banana ketchup
If you're seeking genuinely crispy chicken with flavorful taste and great gluten-free options, this place is definitely worth a try. Just be mindful of potential limited availability and check the menu early to avoid disappointment.
Service (6.7 out of 10)
mentioned by 52% of the guests
When it comes to service, this spot generally shines with a good score of 6.7. Many customers rave about the friendly staff and great service, often noting how helpful the crew is. The option for ordering ahead is a big plus, leading to no wait times and a smooth experience, reflected in 39 positive remarks.
However, its a bit of a mixed bag with customer satisfaction at 60.9%.

Concerns also arose from a mandatory "service fee" for takeout and occasional long "wait times" for those who didnt plan, contributing to 22 negative comments.

- AtmosphereAtmosphere:5
- placeI heard so much about this place and was hoping for the best. While the staff is lovely and the place welcoming, I was surprised by how greasy the chicken was. It was tasty but left a very oily and heavy taste in my mouth, not the good kind.
- great placeOverall great place
- neighborhoodThe Chicken Supply's neighborhood has quite a few trendy spots and a nice village atmosphere
- packaging and wasteI'm already planning my return trip and encourage you to go too, but be sure to get there before they sell out! :) A bonus is that 100% of the restaurant's packaging and waste goes straight to the compost! What are you waiting for?
- playlista banging playlist
- soundtrackThe sauces were amazing, and so was the mochi. The staff were also really nice, and we loved the 90s/2000s soundtrack 😆. I highly recommend this place!

- priceMy experience at this restaurant involved trying their fried drum and wing. The taste was decent, but the price was high. While the fried chicken was juicy and crispy, it lacked a unique flavor to justify the cost.
- service feeMy experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing, especially considering the hype and the price. We incurred an automatic 17% service fee, even though we opted for takeout and picked up our own food. The wait time was also excessive, taking an hour for our order to be ready.
- service chargestating IN THEIR MENU that there will be a 17% service charge.
- pricesMy experience at this restaurant was disappointing due to the hyped-up fried chicken and outrageous prices. Ordering online proved to be even more expensive, with an additional 17% service charge.
- $$$I didn't mind the $$$ if the food was good. But we totally got robbed here.
- Difficult to find parkingParking space:Difficult to find parking
- additional chargesbe aware that there are additional charges
- automatic tipBeware of the automatic 17% tip!
- costa $70 meal will actually cost you over $90+
- hidden service chargeThe hidden service charge is not.
If you're on a tight budget or dislike unexpected fees, this might not be the place for you. While some find specific items fairly priced, the overwhelming feedback points to high costs and hidden charges that could leave you feeling disappointed.

Amazing Spicy Chicken, Sides Missed Mark
My experience at this restaurant was centered around their spicy chicken wing and thigh. Both were absolutely delicious and definitely worth going back for. While I wasn't as big of a fan of the sides, the chicken alone makes me want to return.
I live about 10 minutes away, and the chicken was still wonderfully crispy when I got home. Unfortunately, I found the marinated vegetables to be too sweet, and the Monggo Beans & Rice also didn't quite hit the mark for me.

Best Fried Chicken Ever!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the best fried chicken I’ve ever tasted; it was incredibly juicy and flavorful. The fried chicken stick also exceeded my expectations.
The staff recommended the hot sauce, which was a perfect blend of tangy and spicy with a creamy texture that complemented the chicken wonderfully, giving it a strong kick. The potatoes, small with skin on and crispy, were light but yummy. I also tried the butter mochi, which had a delightful contrast of a firmer exterior and a soft, fluffy interior, enhanced by almond flakes and caramel with cream on the side.
The crew was super friendly and happy to help. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this place.

Delicious food in a hidden gem
My experience at this restaurant was a pleasant surprise! Despite being a 'hole in the wall' place, the food was absolutely delicious. The restaurant offers many Gluten Free options that were incredibly tasty.
We also received complementary Butter Mochi for the birthday we were celebrating, which was a lovely touch. The service was excellent, rated a 5 out of 5, and the food also received a perfect score of 5. While parking was somewhat difficult to find, the overall experience was very positive.
The atmosphere was rated a 3, and the noise level was moderate.

Delicious Fried Chicken, Great Experience!
My experience at The Chicken Supply was fantastic! I was craving delicious fried chicken, and this place delivered. The chicken itself was incredibly crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor.
The sides were also excellent and perfectly complemented the main dishes. I appreciated that the portions were generous. The staff was friendly, and the service was fast.
It's a casual, no-frills spot that consistently serves great food. I highly recommend it!
